CLOSING EVENTS

On 16-20 September, the National Gallery of Art invites visitors to the series of events marking the closing of the exhibition The World According to Fluxus.

This exhibition showcasing more than 600 items chosen by curator Liutauras Pšibilskis is the first comprehensive presentation of the Vilnius Fluxus Collection to a Lithuanian audience. It allows viewers to get to know this treasury of the Fluxus movement, in the possession of the City of Vilnius since 2007 and entrusted to the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center. The collection was built by the filmmaker, artist, critic and curator Jonas Mekas, the founder and long-time artistic director of the Anthology Film Archives in New York and the recipient of numerous international awards, as well as of the Lithuanian National Prize.

The Vilnius Fluxus Collection is noteworthy because of its size (it comprises around 2600 objects), because of its provenience (a large part of it stems directly from George Mačiūnas), and because it contains many originals and sketches of well-known Fluxus works (by Mačiūnas himself and other authors).

7 pm Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Centre presents the FLUX’N’AIR radio program SHIT KYP: a flux and basss and post-flux-hop concert. Location: the new floating FLUX’N’AIR radio studio by the White Bridge, Vilnius. mekocentras.wordpress.com
